now several days later (7 to be exact, in klerms time scale/dimension) Klerm looks into his micro creation with a powerful nanoscope, and discovers that planets have been formed, and life on planets is already forming...
then a few weeks go by (in Klerms time scale) and he sees that his tiny universe, has evolved, and on the evolved planets, evolved creatures have taken hold...
then a few more weeks go by (again, in Klerms time scale)
and it appears that these evolved creatures on a certain planet, have attempted to recreate his experiment... and do...
so he has created a universe, that in turn, has created beings, that have in turn, also created a universe...
aint dimensions great?

Even if they did crack open a few extra dimensions, the fact that they're occuring at such small dimensions guarantees that quantum fluctuations will close any tear that forms. In actual fact, the budding "bang" will bud off of our universe and expand within its own space..... so they may form a new baby universe which will expand just like ours did 13-14 billion years ago. It can't replace our universe because it can't occupy the same space....... it's the good old Exclusion Principle at work. Once it buds off, we'll have no way of looking at it or even communicating with it because it won't exist within our universe at all. It will be just another growing universe within superspace.

And I thought quantum physics was theory and not fact? My mistake. But, since you mention the words..may form, etc. tells me that this is not indeed fact but theory. Not every theory is correct...including Newton's, Einstein's, etc. Just wanted to point out that maybe you do know the physics that you are talking about, but realize that many theories could be wrong.

The only part where the laws of physics breakdown at in a black holes is at the singularity. Everywhere else in the hole it's fine (to an extent). That's why they're trying to reconcile Relativity with Quantum Physics to come with a law of quantum gravity. Quantum gravity would be able to handle the strange goings on at the singularity because those goings on are happening at the quantum level, not at the macroscopic level of Relativity.

I really know very little about black-holes.... but Einstein said that time can be affected by gravity. Doesn't this mean that the closer to a gravity-source "time" is, the more it is affected, aka the warping of space-time (which I assume is presumed to both be integrated with eachother)? If so, wouldn't the black-hole be affecting time? Does that count for a breakdown, or at least a change, of the physics? I've heard that time passes slightly slower/faster on the top floor of a building as compared to the basement... but the difference is minimal.
Maybe at the quantum level, this doesn't effectively happen..... but it could theoretically happen, couldn't it?
Again, I really don't know very much about black-holes or physics.... but the subject of black-holes has always interested me.

The answer to your building/time question is..... time moves slower in the basement of a building than it does on the top floor, but for any building on the Earth's surface the difference is so small it'd almost be impossible to discern.

Dr Cox dismissed worries that by adventuring into the unknown and creating tiny black holes, the machine could even destroy the planet.
"The probability is at the level of 10 to the minus 40," he said.
They estimate the possibility of accidentally destroying the planet as extremely low.
